Sometimes We're All Living in a Foreign Country

Ranging from love song to train song to jump rope rhyme, the poems of Sometimes We're All Living in a Foreign Country are voiced by perpetual outsiders searching for a sense of place from small Southern towns to the tunnels and tracks of the urban North. Personal and regional histories blur through the intimate paths of tornadoes, guns, suburban sprawl, and the ongoing quest to escape where we come from.
